"What is the book of Revelation?
Does
it describe in veiled language events
of its writer's own day, or is it
largely a prophecy of events still to
come? Is it a chart of the whole of
history from Christ's first coming to
his second? Or does it deal chiefly
with principles which are always valid
in Christian experience?And what is a
twentieth-century reader to do with
creatures covered with eyes, locusts
like horses, seven bowls of wrath, war
in heaven, various beasts and a dragon?
Michael Wilcock maintains tha when
God's words, declarations, arguments
and reasonings had all been spoken, God
gave the church ""a gorgeous picture
book."" Wilcok lifts the curtain on
Revelation's drama in eight scenes,
helping our imaginations as well as our
minds grasp the key concepts of this
fascinating and enigmatic New Testament
book."
